An oldie but goodie won a prize

I may have shouted this out a thousand (well, no not quite) times but it came as such a shock that my initial stunned astonishment took a while to dissipate and then came the reaction of quiet mentions before I programmed myself to get shouting – so here I am to shout again. Shout about what?

The very first book I wrote is called One Dark Night, though it was the second to be published, hence the surprise when at the beginning of October I received notification that it had won the Readers’ Favorite Bronze award for its genre. I was very pleased that it had been enjoyed. I even thought I might read it again myself!

What’s it about? I originally called it “Choices” because the theme was how our choices determine our future. Think back over your life to a time when perhaps in your twenties, you had a choice to make; now imagine if you had taken a different course - the other path. Perhaps you could plot how your life might have turned out. One Dark Night tells the story of a young woman dragged into a world of smugglers and those determined to uphold the law. This being back in the early part of the nineteenth century, the choice was not as easy as it would be today and the heroine was torn between two heroic men and two paths.

"Her predicament will touch your heart."

"A lovely romance woven into swashbuckling action that will keep you enthralled for many a dark night." Grab a copy and imagine...


If you do look back over your life please tell us about a difficult decision that changed the course of your life, I'd love to hear about it and we can call them "Fascinating Facts".
